Note that I did not exclude location and supply chain problems as part of their downfall, but I don't believe that their problems can be explained solely by those things. Both Loblaws and the Brick had supply chain problems but they both recovered, mostly because they served the Canadian market. Target, on the other hand, couldn't. Their marketing and in-store signage didn't resonate, their quality/price ratio was off, and their selection didn't meet the needs of most Canadians.
